PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
ROYAL MAIL UNIVERSAL SERVICE OBLIGATION AND OFCOM (26 November 2014)
Motion Details
That this House calls on Ofcom to review urgently and reform the current mail competition regime which is endangering the continuation of the Universal Service Obligation on Royal Mail to deliver to every address in the UK; and believes that access charges are far too low for its competitors which consequently cherry-pick highly profitable, cheap intra- and inter-city deliveries, dumping mail for outlying areas back into Royal Mail and so threatening its future.
